- Biography
- Natasha Keating is a mixed-media artist, exhibiting nationally and internationally for over 20 years. Beginning her art training in the early 1990s, her creative practice examines Māori and indigenous people through paint and ink on wood.
Techniques of whakairo (carving), carved relief work, paint and ink on wooden planks are all hallmarks of her practice. When arranged together, they reflect a symbolism of rebuilding forests, recognition and confirmation of empowering rangatiratanga (authority).
